Without any knowledge of the issue, simply using intelligent questioning, a good coach can help you to uncover a path forward on any issue If you want to know more about how coaching can help you and your organisation please contact uscontact us Most managers are trained to find solutions, not ask questions But this exercise shows you can help someone without knowing the answer This exercise is designed to demonstrate the power of questioning And if you add feedback, both verbal and visual, the questioning can only be more incisive and therefore more helpful At ACT Now we are trained to ask questions which will help you to find your own solutions * For more on silent coaching please see Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There, by Bob ThomsonDon’t Just Do Something, Sit There, by Bob Thomson
